#15 Auburn (-4) over Ole Miss, Saturday 6:15 PM (CT), Vaught Hemingway Stadium

After a rough start, Auburn has seemingly turned their season around. What was once a struggling Tigers’ offense has now turned into a powerful rushing attack. Combine that with a great defense and the Tigers now look like one of the best teams in the country. While Auburn is trending up, Ole Miss is trending in the opposite direction. The Rebels are perhaps the most disappointing team in the country considering the talent this team has. In fact, it is likely that this entire era of Ole Miss football will ultimately be looked back on as a disappointment. It’s hard to say anything positive about this Ole Miss team and I’m not going to try.

For all the reasons above, Auburn will win comfortably. The Rebels have absolutely nothing left to play for and they don’t exactly have the best leadership to right the sinking ship. Auburn is peaking at the right time and is firmly in position to compete for a trip to Atlanta. Auburn will continue their strong play and dominate the Rebels on both sides of the ball. Auburn 38, Ole Miss 14
